Hello everyone!
Welcome to my first post for 2013! It’s been a while since I’ve talked about what’s been happening for me, so I thought I might catch you all up on the recent happenings of my life.
For the most part, I’ve just been working with the guys to try and finish our project – three days a week we all get online and code, discuss anything that needs discussing, etc. We’ve been doing this for the past 5 weeks (we had originally planned for the work to take around 2 weeks). To be honest, I’m really enjoying doing the work. It’s helped to give me ideas for my own personal projects, and given me something to keep my mind off other things.
Christmas and New Years has come and gone (as you all hopefully should know). For the most part, both were pretty quiet for me. Christmas was the usual affair – relatives came over for gift giving and lunch. This year was a little quieter than past years, though. I kinda liked it. New Years, on the other hand, was a pretty boring night. I pretty much just spent it playing games and watching TV – didn’t have much else to do.
I’ve played some pretty good games lately, including Assassin’s Creed 3, Spec Ops: The Line, and Halo 4 (Halo 4 being the most recent). The former two of these were really thought-invoking in their respective storyline – AC3 revolving around the theme of “Salvation”, and Spec Ops’ use of flashbacks and death scene messages to make the player think about their actions. Of course, Spec Ops isn’t the best shooter around, but I thought the game made up for it with the story. I’ve also somewhat gotten into Feed The Beast (modded Minecraft), since that’s now what I’ve got the server running (for those that don’t know, check out the map site). I haven’t updated the map site for the new server as yet, but I’ll hopefully get around to doing that soon.
I finally got time to finish watching my box set of Burn Notice over these holidays. The set was given to me as a birthday present from one of my best friends, and I’d only had time to watch a couple of seasons during the year. I really enjoyed watching them, and catching up with the episodes I’d missed when they were on TV. Now I’ve started watching the first season of Lie To me, which I received as a present for Christmas this year. After watching the first four episodes, I’m already seeing things I missed when I watched them on TV.
I think that’s about all that’s happened for me since I last made one of these catchup posts. Thanks for reading this post.
Robert
